Officially the Judge William Seeber Bridge, this vertical lift span opened in 1957 and carries Claiborne Avenue over the Industrial Canal into the Lower Ninth Ward. It has taken a beating for its whole working life: a barge hit it in 1993, Katrina damaged it in 2005, and a lift malfunction dropped a car into the canal in 2008.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
